WOMEN AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

OSW has contributed to development of government policy on information and communications technologies to inform debate on associated gender issues. Between October 1996 and January 1997 three research papers focussing on the key issues for women in relation to information and communications technology were published on the Internet, linked to the OSW's home page. The research papers were: Women's Access to Online Services; Women's Involvement with Online and Interactive Content; and Regulating the Internet: Issues for Women.
